TRAVEL
WHERE TO STAY
A plethora of top-class hotels are adorned
all over this Roman city, however, here is
one which stands out from the crowd.
LE MERIDIEN VISCONTI
Perfectly situated between the main
tourist's attractions like the Spanish steps
and Vatican city, this business like hotel
serves as a great base to explore what this
historic city has to offer.
Benefiting from a slightly more tranquil
setting, but not too far away from the
hustle and bustle, this chic hotel boasts
contemporary guest rooms and a
charming rooftop terrace that serves up
some very classy cocktails.
WHERE TO EAT
Here's our selection of Italian vegetarian
grub to gorge on!
IL MARGUTTA
A modern alternative restaurant & gallery
serving creative vegetarian twists on
Roman menu classics. You don't have to
be vegetarian to appreciate the dishes
on offer here. Rotating art installations
compliment the space, but the food takes
centre stage.
WHERE TO DRINK
The Italians love to drink and eat, so this
is serious business here. With so many
choices, we have narrowed down one of
our favourites.
THE JERRY THOMAS
PROJECT
Known as a 'Speakeasy' bar, you have a
few rules you will need to follow here if
you don't want to be kicked out. To gain
access to this bar, you will need to find out
the password which is hidden within the
homepage of its website.
Situated behind a secret normal looking
door you delve into a dark and cosy 1920's
bar space that serves no vodka or beer.
Once in, you can't use your phone, speak
loudly, get extremely drunk and speaking
about religion & politics is a strict no-no.
Trust me, even with all these rules in place,
you'll end up having a great time.
ROME UNCOVERED
You'll probably come across the old age saying that Rome
wasn't built in a day. Which is why you be hard pressed
to experience this beautiful city over a long weekend,
however, we gave it our best shot and these are our
recommended highlights.
